Are you sure that the audio does not interfere with the mating habits of the orange bellied parrot?

LOL

It isn't *quite* that bad but here is one example:

In order to satisfy requirements into one market Homepin must provide a full audit trail of the item in question (one part mind you) right from raw materials through to the tools used to assemble the part. I kid you not. So far, this document is running over 60 pages and has taken several months to prepare with more than one hour per day, by one staff member, devoted to it. Pure madness! If we can PROVE everything in the document (and that is a feat in itself) we will be home and free on the other 200 parts.

There is a LOT more to satisfying all of the legal and statutory requirements than anyone would ever believe. (certainly a lot more than I ever envisaged).

Stern has it easy as they (same as the aviation industry) simply call up the "Grandfather clause" and are basically able to get away with anything.

New players (such as Homepin) have to abide by every single new law, rule and suggestion.
